Abstract

Oceanographic cruises, and scientific expeditions at sea in general, constitute an important contribution to the historical memory of the beginnings and evolution of marine scientific research and, within the framework of the Decade of Ocean Science, access to the data collected for decades support sustainable ocean development. For this reason, the Colombian Center for Oceanographic Data carried out a process of archaeology and recovery of data and information from oceanographic cruises carried out in the Colombian Pacific and Caribbean from 1969 to 2020. Subsequently, the information was structured in a geographic database known as the national Maritime, Fluvial and Coastal Spatial Data Infrastructure. In addition, metadata was documented under a profile of the ISO 19115 standard, implementing good international practices, and a software application was developed to facilitate the search for geographic information and open access to measurements made on site. As a result, information from 130 oceanographic cruises (1969-2020) was made available, 96 technical cruise reports were recovered, 87 track charts were reconstructed, and 130 metadata were published, with the possibility of continuing to feed the system with new cruises and scientific expeditions.
